High availability, low operating costs
The unique GEHO® piston diaphragm
pump incorporates many design
features ensuring uninterrupted,
trouble-free operation and significantly
reducing operating and maintenance
costs compared to other available
transportation systems.
Continuous innovation
Our innovative pump technology
is backed by continuous advanced
research and in-house laboratory
test facilities, resulting in superior
efficiency, reliability and availability.

Main features
Your benefits
High pump efficiency up to 96% Minimum energy costs and minimum heat production.
Low carbon footprint. Low water consumption with high
solids content slurry.
Heavy duty industrial pump Long maintenance intervals. High MTBF.
Diaphragm protects piston and liner from abrasive
slurry contact Minimal piston wear and maximum service intervals
for piston seal and cylinder liner.
Automatic PLC controlled diaphragm positioning
Long diaphragm lifetime – allows for routine annual
systemreplacement.
Valves are only wear parts. Application specific Maximum valve lifetime based on extensive experience and
designs available lessons learned. Maximum pump availability for end user.
Hydraulic valve seat removal
Quick replacement time for valves.
Pulsation dampener is nitrogen pre-charged
Nitrogen is safe. Low pulsations because of large
dampener volume.
Integrated pressure relief valve at propelling liquid side
Relief valve protects pump against over-pressure.
Piston running in hydraulic fluid Long lasting piston seals with low friction and maximum
efficiency.

Conservative mechanical rod loading High reliability. Pump loading is based on experience and
extensive reference list.
Sealed against exterior contamination Heavy duty pump design for mining environment.
Resilient, robust single piece frame with low
stress levels
Long reliable, low maintenance operational lifetime.
No continuous external water flush required
No clean water costs.
